THE PLT STATED THAT ABOUT 15 MIN AFTER TAKEOFF, THE RADIO & NAVIGATION EQUPMENT QUIT WORKING. HE DECIDED TO RETURN TO THE ARPT TO LAND. HOWEVER, WHEN HE TRIED TO EXTEND THE GEAR, HE COULD NOT GET A SAFE GEAR DOWN INDICATION. THERE WAS HEAVY TRAFFIC, SO HE DEPARTED THE TRAFFIC PATTERN TO EXTEND THE GEAR. HE EXTENDED THE LANDING GEAR ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS IN HIS ACFT HANDBOOK. HE STATED THAT AS SOON AS THE GEAR WAS EXTENDED, THE ENG LOST POWER. THE PLT TRIEDTO GLIDE THE ACFT TO A LARGE FIELD FOR LANDING, BUT WAS UNABLE TO REACH IT. HE SELECTED A SMALLER FIELD & TRIED TO MAKE SHORT FIELD APCH, BUT THE FLAPS WOULD NOT EXTEND. BEFORE THE PLT COULD STOP THE ACFT, IT COLLIDED WITH A FENCE & A FEW SMALL TREES. DURING AN EXAM OF THE ACFT, ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OPERATED NORMALLY & FUEL WAS FOUND IN THE FUEL TANKS. THE ENG WAS THEN STARTED & IT OPERATED NORMALLY.
